We’ll be joined by actors Ada Faith-Feyma, Betsy Harvey, and Jim Scullin; musician Nancy Nolan; designers David Gignac and Valerie Johnson; Paul Schenfeld, Stokes auctioneer; WICA board members Robert Merry and Ken Pilcher, and the WICA Staff!

The evening, hosted by improv artist Billy Tierney, also features a look back at 25 years of producing and presenting extraordinary work, our vision of the future, and your opportunity to and your opportunity to "Raise the Paddle” in support of our community's arts center.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
